Circe (to Project M): "You don't understand what you've done. You've doomed the world."
Wait, could Circe not be the bad guy after all? Yeah, I dont think so. Saying that, it's also very possible that Flag Sr and his monster squad might have made a colossal boo boo. Oh dear.
Circe at the end of the last episode along with her band of loser incels, the Sons of Themyscira left The Bride and Nina Mazursky tied up for Flag Sr and company to find. They did that and then realised that Circe now had the head start.
Circe didn't waste time getting to the castle and while the Princess was savvy enough to outsmart and even kill some SofT losers, she almost got obliterated by Circe. I swear if Weasel hadn't shown up and gone very feral, Ilana would've been dead on the spot.
Personally while I get the criticism of Circe not being at her full power, I actually didn't mind both Weasel and Phosphorus getting the jump here. I think Circe just didn't expect them to get her so quickly but I am going to need to know why she's so determined to kill the Princess.
As for G.I. Robot, his death by Circe came as a surprise but it shouldn't have done. There's likely more deaths coming up in these remaining episodes. G.I. Robot did though get some meaningful flashbacks with the likes of Sgt. Rock (Maury Sterling), Will Magnus (Alan Tudyk) and Sam Fitzgibbon (Michael Rooker) all expanding his backstory before his death in this one.
- We got some appearances for the likes of Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man, Crimson Centipede and Fisherman to name some brief cameos along with Easy Company and a Metal Men Easter egg.
- Nina was quick to drop The Bride in it when they were heading back to the castle.
- I thought Ilana would've had a more up to date gun to defend herself instead of the one she did use.
- Chronology: Flashbacks to the 1940s, 1960s and 1990s for G.I. Robot.
Cheers To The Tin Man was a nice centre piece for G.I. Robot and it also remedied my previous criticism with the music from the first two episodes. The show's not holding back on the violence and this one even showed some entrails to boot.
